Whilst the pandemic has undoubtedly had an impact (who buys aviation fuel during a global lock down?), surely the rest of it boils down to poor/incompetent (or dare I say it - corrupt) financial management. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-me...e-39482509

As for McDonalds, even now the queues at the one in Bishop seem to be horrendous all the time. But it only ever seems to be the drive thru, we just order on the app, pull into the empty click and serve bays, and drive off past the people who are still waiting in the queue that we drove past on the way in!
Their takings must be through the roof, I don't remember it ever being that busy pre-covid!
The Jet garage at Harlow Green was closed for fuel purchases when I passed it earlier.
Sold out?
